Mount Burr Swamp

The swamp

The Mount Burr property was purchased several years ago by local not-for-profit environmental group Nature Glenelg Trust.

Located adjacent to an existing 600-hectare wetland reserve, the previously drained landscape is slowly being restored to a haven for plants and wildlife.

Senior ecologist Bryan Haywood said the university partnership gave students a chance to think about the issues faced in managing the land.

"We want to encourage people to be able to get out on country and get involved in what we're doing, from trying to increase and improve the hydrology of the wetlands, through to the seed collecting and plant propagation, planting and weed control."
